The initiative, unveiled at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, is being delivered in partnership with NEV Electric, Nigeria’s first and premier electric vehicle manufacturer, and Possible Electric Mobility, the country’s largest electric vehicle fleet operator.
The service deploys Nigerian-manufactured NEV T6 electric buses to transport passengers between the airport and major city terminals, including hotels, business districts, and key government offices.
Transitioning from diesel to electric buses is projected to reduce emissions by approximately 74 per cent, equating to an annual saving of around 1,327 tonnes of COE.
The electric buses deployed under the initiative are manufactured locally by NEV Electric Motors, Nigeria’s leading electric vehicle manufacturer.
Beyond vehicle production, NEV Electric Motors also works with its operating partner, Possible Electric Mobility, to structure financing and deployment models that enable the sustainable operation of electric bus services such as the airport shuttle.
